Unity and race: Flamengo/Marinha thrashes Kindermann and advances to the semifinals
Rubro-Negras are guaranteed in the next phase of the Brazilian Women's Championship
By Mariana Sa - inIn a duel, those who are united win. And, if there's one thing that will certainly never be lacking in Flamengo/Marinha, it's exactly that. This Wednesday (19), the red-blacks hosted Kindermann and fought with everything they had. Needing to overturn the 1-0 deficit from the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Brazilian Women's Football Championship A-1, the Mais Querido scored four times with Flávia (2x), Bárbara and Dany Helena at Gávea, guaranteeing the 4-0 victory and a place in the semifinals.

Before the match began, athlete Samhia Pereira took the floor in the locker room. About to undergo knee surgery due to a serious injury, she delivered her pre-match speech, focusing mainly on one thing: family, history, and everything each of them had fought for to get to that moment. "No one wants this more than we do." With that in mind, Flamengo took the field focused solely on victory and qualification.
From the start, the Gávea team did everything they could to find space in the opposing defense and succeeded. In the 12th minute, Ju found Flávia alone up front; the forward made a great individual play and pushed the ball into the back of the net, making it 1-0. Despite trying to apply pressure, Kindermann was thwarted by excellent defense from defenders Daiana and Andressa, as well as goalkeeper Kaká.
In the 27th minute, Fla extended their lead with a beautiful play by Flávia, who found Bárbara alone up front, launched a beautiful pass and saw the number 10 make a beautiful finish and make it 2-0. With the advantage, Mengo went into the break knowing the pace they needed to set.

The scenario didn't change in the second half. In a tough and complicated match, Flamengo/Marinha knew how to behave and quickly regained control. In the 15th minute, Dany Helena received a beautiful pass and slotted it into the opponent's net without any problems, scoring her fourteenth goal in the Brasileirão.
Closing the score and ensuring the Nation's happiness, Flávia received the ball up front, advanced and gave a beautiful chip over the top, making it 4-0.
With this result, the red-and-blacks closed out the quarterfinals with a 4-1 aggregate victory, advancing to the semifinals. Their opponent will be Corinthians, who eliminated Ponte Preta on Wednesday.
